As you can see i forgot to add a wireless card to pick up the wifi signal in my house, so now i have a ethernet cable running up my stairs and into my office, not what i wanted. Now for the good bit's, the pictures.

The Case



Now the inside.















So ye thats my new machine, cost me just over £2000 but hey it should last. Any questions let me know

Nice cable management especially with that case.

What temps are you getting on it? One fan up front and the rear pulling in air for the CPU?

Ok so I'm thinking about getting a second monitor today, I think my graphics card should be able to handle it. What I've read so far is that I need a second port on my graphics card for the second monitor. My graphics card is Graphics Card 4GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 680 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready. Where would I find the second port, my current screen is hooked up by a white cable that looks like a VGA cable but slightly bigger.

If I buy this will it go in to my PC no problem? I want it just for Steam and all my games on there.
Also this one has retail next to it, the other has OEM next to it. What does this mean?

Usually the difference between OEM and Retail drives is that with the OEM drive you receive the drive and nothing else, except the packaging it comes in. Retail drives usually have extras, such as 3.5" adapter brackets (allows the drive to be installed into a 3.5" drive bay), SATA cables, a disc with drivers/utilities on it, etc.

I could not find any specifics about what is included with Intel's Retail SSDs.

Nagare I still check on this thread and again to check my spec's when I forget them. When building this I just made sure all the parts went together fine really. What PSU would you recommend if I was to replace the one in there? Had real bad problems with my audio tho. When playing out any audio it sounds so unclear and just broken. Uninstalled my sound card and still have the same problem, have to use headphones at all times now.
